    "content": "cooking food and washing clothes, amongst other uses. All this is caused by our failure to mange water resources in this country. We do not have proper laws to help us have sufficient water in our homes. In Kenya, there is a lot of water. For example, you find that people living along Tana River have no food because there is no proper irrigation system. If we adopt an irrigation system, we will produce enough food in this country. Even herdsmen will not fight for water because they will be having enough water. It is a big shame for the country to have people fighting for water when we have a lot of rivers. It is just a matter of directing the water to where the people are. If we do that, you will not find people fighting for water all the time. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I hope that those who will be given the responsibility of managing our water resources will implement this Bill properly once it becomes law. We would not want to see some parts of the country having water and others not having water. Once we pass this Bill, every county must make sure that their residents have enough water in every village in order for us to solve the problems of people fighting for water, lack of food and many others. With those remarks, I beg to support."
